“Chemung County is renowned for its strong communities, deep roots, and spirit of collaboration. As we face evolving challenges, such as increased flooding, aging infrastructure, and pressure on public services, we have an opportunity to plan thoughtfully and collaborate,” said Chemung County Executive Christopher J. Moss.
The county emphasizes that broad community engagement is essential to shaping a more resilient and vibrant future for residents.
